Default Front Brakes

Hi all the car is up and running,so im trying to find a set of 2 pot sliding calipers
as mine have seized,and this would be my cheapest option,to just bolt another pair straight on,to save having to buy new discs and pads.....

does anyone have a pair lying around doing nothing that they could sell or lend untill i get mine refurbed,just the guy who's garage its in has been very patient and this is now stopping him get his car back in his garage........

Drop a line to Phil (Nomad_72), I'm sure he has a set, but they may have already gone.

Godspeed are doing a 4 pot caliper upgrade kit with 2 front calipers, discs and pads for around £299 I think.

That would be a big upgrade from your 2 pots and give you a lot more braking power.

Cheers fella I've been looking at the wrx pro set up Ian has for sale,but at the moment I'm trying to do this as a cheaply as possible,as I've just spent almost £2500,00 on the engine,so I was hoping to just get a set of 2 pots to just bolt on and get the car on the road,and upgrade at a later date.
